from the stars may finally have been explained, 45 years after it was received.The minute-long burst of radio energy known as the “Wow signal” has kept scientists speculating about its origins since it was received on August 15, 1977.While no-one has been able to detect a message hidden in the signal, it remains the most convincing candidate for a signal from an alien world.And now, scientists have a better idea of where that world could be.Astronomer Alberto Caballero has isolated a star, roughly the same size as our own Sun, that’s exactly where the source of the signal appeared to be.Named after a stunned astronomer scribbled 'wow!" on a printout of the data, The Wow! Signal is considered "the best SETI candidate radio signal that we have picked up with our telescopes,” Alberto told Live Science.And he has now identified a potential source of the mysterious signal.He painstakingly went though images collected by the European Space Agency's Gaia mission, which used a billion-pixel camera to image our galaxy in unprecedented detail.Focusing on two areas where the signal could have come from, he examined every star in turn, looking for K-type star systems, which are believed to be hospitable to life as we know it, and G-type stars – like our own Sun.One of the candidates, listed as 2MASS 19281982-2640123, is almost exactly like the Sun in terms of its size and its energy output."There is a solar analog in the region where the most alien-like signal has come from,” Alberto says.While no planets have as yet been detected in orbit around the distant star, some 1,800 light-years from Earth, Alberto’s discovery could point the way to the identification of extraterrestrial civilisation.His findings were published May 6 in the

holidays boost!Currently, only those who are fully vaccinated against Covid or have proof of recovery can enter the country for holidays - but all that could change 'within days'.That's because the country's Industry, Commerce and Tourism minster, Reyes Maroto., has said that the rules will be relaxed 'within days' for unvaccinated travellers from non-EU destinations.She told local radio station Onda Cero that unvaccinated travellers will once again be able to come for holidays, although they will still be required to show proof of a negative Covid test result.Currently, unvaccinated travellers can't head for holidays in Spain, although exceptions have been made for unvaccinated children aged 12-17 who have a negative PCR test or can show proof of Covid recovery.The news that Spain is due to relax its rules comes as a huge boost for the summer - after all, Spain has long been a hotspot for Brits with its brilliant beaches, amazing nightlife, and all-inclusive resorts.Speaking of all-inclusive resorts, if you're planning to head to Majorca or Ibiza, you may want to take note of a new drinks limit that the Balearics government has introduced.In a bid to crack down on boozy Brits, authorities now have a six drinks limit. That's six a day alongside lunch and dinner - meaning that you'll only be able to have three drinks per meal.
